Overview
Delay discounting (DD), a behavioural economic index estimating one's preference for immediate over delayed gratification, has emerged as a potential transdiagnostic process. Steeper DD (i.e., greater preference for immediate reward) is seen among substance-based and behavioural addictions and multiple psychiatric disorders relative to controls. Limited research has investigated DD among anxiety and related disorders. Adults with primary diagnoses of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD; n = 166), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; n = 62), panic disorder (PD; n = 46), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; n = 68), or social anxiety disorder (SAD; n = 100) were recruited in order to compare DD rates relative to healthy controls (n = 77). Measures included the Monetary Choice Questionnaire (measure of DD) and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 item version. Univariate analyses of variance (ANOVAs) with planned pairwise comparisons examining group differences in DD revealed steeper discounting among GAD (d = .32), SAD (d = .32), and PTSD (d = .53) groups relative to controls. No significant differences were found between OCD and PD relative to controls. These results suggest steeper DD rates are not universally found among anxiety and related disorders, limiting the use of DD as a transdiagnostic construct. La dévalorisation des gains futurs (Delay discounting, ou DD), un indice comportemental économique estimant les préférences d'une personne pour la satisfaction (ou gratification) immédiate par rapport à la satisfaction différée, apparaît aujourd'hui comme un processus transdiagnostique potentiel. On constate également une dévalorisation des gains futurs plus prononcée (c.-à-d., une préférence plus marquée pour la récompense immédiate) chez les personnes aux prises avec des toxicomanies et des dépendances comportementales ainsi qu'avec des troubles psychiatriques multiples par rapport aux groupes témoins. Peu d'études ont été réalisées sur la dévalorisation des gains futurs chez les personnes atteintes d'anxiété et de troubles connexes. Des adultes dont le diagnostic primaire concerne un trouble anxieux généralisé (TAG; n = 166), un trouble obsessionnel-compulsif (TOC; n = 62), un trouble panique (TP; n = 46), un trouble de stress post-traumatique (TSPT; n = 68) ou un trouble d'anxiété sociale (TAS; n = 100) ont été recrutés en vue de comparer les taux de dévalorisation des gains futurs par rapport à des sujets témoins en bonne santé (n = 77). Le « Questionnaire sur les choix monétaires » (Monetary Choice Questionnaire) et l'échelle de mesure de la dépression, du stress et de l'anxiété (Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale) en 21 points comptaient parmi les outils de mesure utilisés. Des analyses de variance unidimensionnelles assorties de comparaisons par paires planifiées visant à examiner les différences au niveau de la dévalorisation des gains futurs entre les groupes ont mis en lumière une dévalorisation plus prononcée chez les groupes TAG (d = 32), TAS (d = 32) et TSPT (d = 53) relativement aux témoins en bonne santé. Aucune différence significative n'a été observée entre les groupes TOC et TP par rapport aux témoins en bonne santé. Ces résultats semblent indiquer que des taux plus élevés de dévalorisation des gains futurs ne sont pas universels parmi les personnes souffrant d'anxiété et d'autres troubles connexes, ce qui vient restreindre le recours à la mesure de la dévalorisation des gains futurs en tant que concept transdiagnostique. Public Significance Statement Delay discounting (DD) is considered an indicator of preference for immediate over delayed rewards and has been found to be elevated among a range of psychiatric disorders, suggesting that it may be a useful tool across many disorders. This study found that some (but not all) anxiety and related disorder presentations (e.g., generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder) exhibited higher rates of discounting (suggesting increased preference for immediate rewards) compared with healthy control subjects; however, these findings did not remain after accounting for symptoms of depression. These findings suggest that DD may not be elevated in all psychiatric conditions, and as such, this measure may not be as useful in understanding the full range of psychiatric conditions as was previously thought.
